I wanted to give her my heart
But as the doctor observed
What could she do with it

Then when she said we must part
Albeit for only an hour
Couldn't go through with it


I was unhappy until she came along
Suddenly problems

That seems insurmountable
Left in a huff
You can be sure

When you know you're
Taking a chance on love


What would you do if like me
You had the girl of your dreams
Only you blew it

How do you think you would feel
Looking back and saying to yourself
That was so stupid


I don't know what makes
The perfect romance

Could be as simple as tickling her toes
When you're both in the tub
You'll never lose

Not when you choose
Taking a chance on love


When will you find it
Will it be true
What is the answer

I wish that I knew
Somebody's partner
Whose wife is a friend

Illustrates just what I mean

I was so set in my ways

Had someone followed me home
They couldn't beat me there
Never believed in the phrase

That you haven't lived till you've love
Oh, I didn't seem to care


Call me old fashioned but I still aspire
Standing with her
In a church full of people

A priest up above
Saying I do
Her saying it, too

Taking a chance on love

No one can tell you it isn't a game

Taking a chance on love
You win some you loose some
It's never the same

Taking a chance on love
Uum, love


Well, even if wrong
Oh, I still go on
Taking a chance on love

Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love ooh
